I made these roses for my fiance for Valentine's Day. He never ate them, but displays them at work. They're super easy to make.

You will need:

A miniature muffin pan

Rolled fondant or marshmallow fondant

Thick bacon strips

Skewers

Preheat oven to 375 F.

Roll bacon strip up and place into muffin pan. Repeat with all bacon strips.

Bake for 10 minutes, then remove each bacon rose onto a paper towel and pour out bacon drippings from pan. Put back the roses into the pan and back into the oven. Repeat the 10 minute cooking time for approximately 40 to 50 mins or until cooked throughly.

Cover a skewer with green fondant. Allow to dry. Add leaves. Push sharp end of skewer into cooled bacon roses.

So these are made with the same recipe I always use. Which can be found here.

Shaping the cake pops into a football is a little different then just regular balls. I do roll them into balls first and then roll half of the ball gently until an edge form. I repeat with the other side. I use my fingers to help pinch them pointy.

I hope everyone has a great super bowl this year. May the best team win!
